SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we’re simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry.

We are looking for a Manager (open to varying levels of experience) who can help us scale up our development operation and empower our engineering teams.

What you'll do

  • Manage a team of cross-functional engineers (backend & frontend, multiple platforms)
  • Work closely with Product to design and develop product enhancements and value for both fans and enterprise customers - including prioritization and planning cycles
  • Guide the team to improve operational and engineering best practices to keep our development machine humming
  • Provide regular job performance feedback, hold one-on-ones, and provide career development support to your direct reports
  • Foster a dynamic, inclusive, and empowering environment where engineers are inspired to tackle complex challenges and accelerate their career growth
  • Play an active role in our recruiting process, helping us to grow our engineering team in any way you can
  • Perform code reviews and provide technical and design feedback to the team
  • Communicate technical and product decisions to the right people, resolve blocking issues, and collaborate with other leaders across the organization

What you have

  • 5+ years as an engineer in a role that was mostly about writing code
  • 3+ years of experience as an engineering manager of productive, motivated teams
  • A foundation of technical excellence that your team can look up to
  • Knowledge of the technology industry to help your team make good tooling and framework decisions setting them up for success
  • You understand how to lead by setting context and facilitating collaboration between cross-functional partners in  product, design, engineering, and leadership
